2022 Updates: Grand Island Casino Resort temporary non-smoking facility opened on Dec. 27, 2022, and is located in the concourse of Fonner Park adjacent to the Van Berg Racing Collection and the Nebraska Thoroughbred Racing Hall of Fame. The interim casino features slots, table games, including electronic table games, sports betting, horse betting kiosks, simulcasting, a snack bar, bar and restaurant and Elite Casino's Resort Club. 

Work on the permanent Grand Island Casino Resort began after the 2023 Nebraska State Fair ended on Sept. 5th. The project is expected to take two years to complete with the opening date sometime in 2025

Elite Casino Restorts, LLC has been chosen to operate the planned Grand Island Casino Resort at Fonner Park horse racing track in the city of Grand Island in central Nebraska. Plans for the property include a five-story 116-room hotel with an indoor and outdoor pool, full-service spa and salon, a range of dining options, including a rooftop Ruthie’s Steak and Seafood, and a show lounge that will play host to live entertainment on the weekend. 

The casino floor will connect to the existing Fonner Park structure, and feature 650 slot machines, with the ability to increase that number by an additional 200 positions, as well as 20 table games, a VIP lounge and a high limit slots area, and a sports bar with a sportsbook. 

Already responsible for a trio of gaming and resort destinations in Iowa, including in Iowa City, Davenport, and Larchwood, and a recently opened casino resort in Southern Illinois. Elite Casino Resorts expects the Grand Island, Nebraska property to be completed in 2023.
